定义s, Common Metrics, Business Rules, Standards

的 数据字典 has been created by 办公室 of Institutional Effectiveness as part of the Executive Decision Data Warehouse project in order to establish information context by documenting approved institutional definitions and metrics. 此工具提供:

• Enterprisewide standardization and maintenance of the organization’s business definitions and business rules for data.
• Dynamic information dictionary, a common definition of data structures, and the data content represented by component data elements
• Enterprisewide decision support; provides the necessary data integration for effective cross-business unit analysis.

All departments should adhere to the agreed upon institutional definition and metrics for institutional reporting to meet the administration’s demand for consistency and accuracy in reporting.

的 办公室 of Institutional Effectiveness manages the annual review of this document to verify that the definitions and metrics are still accurate. Departmental data managers are asked to review and recommend revisions during the summer prior to the next reporting year.
